The new owner is Rob who does indeed own that digital business. He bought the three guitar talk forums and others like the Duck Hunters Refuge forum. This is his full time job. The stats I saw indicate over a million hits per month just on the the guitar talk forums alone, that translates to $ from advertisers. We are now a commodity, not a community anymore.

I have no problem with someone earning a buck, but I much prefer transparency in regards to the communities I hang out with.
